Mayfield vs Hurts might be the worst QB match up I have seen in the playoffs.

Hurts has to be injured, right?

I mean, he averages close to 10 carries/game through 16. In the last two, he had 3 carries total.

Especially in a lose and your out game, I would’ve thought a healthy Hurts is a factor in the ground game. Something seems off.

But woof woof MF, the NFC East looking like total trash.

Eagles went from SB contenders to flaming out faster than a bottle rocket.

Lucky, good observation. Radio this morning said Hurts was dealing with a leg injury, but didn't elaborate past that.

It happened around beginning of November which coincidentally is right around when their slide from grace started.

Fellow Cowboys fan but please no.

Though I do hope they fire McCarthy’s ass into the sun
I tried to warn you 'Boys fans when they hired him...things got awfully stale in GB before they finally canned his ass.

Antonio Pierce is said to be bringing Kliff Kingsbury to the Vegas Raiders to be his OC.

I didn’t need a warning. Never liked the hire to begin with. But, Dak is also a huge part of the problem. He’s a mental midget. Gets completely punked in the biggest games.

TO BE FAIR -- their defense getting blasted every single drive to start the game was probably a bigger factor than Dak's mistakes. They were costly, but there is no excuse for getting roasted like that by a GB team that was incredibly mediocre in the past month or so.

I'll give you the defense being mediocre, but there hasn't been anything mediocre about this offense, particularly since Aaron Jones has returned from injury.

I would agree that both sides of the ball were trash. But starting the game the way the offense and Dak did, did the defense no favors. Before his classic garbage time heroics, he was around 50% comp pct and 4.9 yds/att. With 2 INT's, including one pick 6. Total ass football. And, it’s not the first time Dak has choked in big games.

Also, not sure I agree with GB being mediocre. Jordan Love has been on fire lately. Since they beat the Lions on Thanksgiving, Love has thrown 19 TD’s and 1 INT. In their last 7 games leading up to the playoffs, they were 5-2 with wins over DET and KC. In their last 3 prior, Aaron Jones had rushed for 358 yards. Now a drubbing of Dallas. GB is a young ascending team and has been for a couple months now. In fact, I tried like hell to get Love in a keeper league and now that’s completely off the table.

This guy is likely going to get a second chance at a head coaching job before many qualified and deserving candidates get their first.

Dak had 87 yards and two pick 6's before halftime. The second pick six was called down at their own 14 yard line I believe. He threw two more that should have been picked off. He also gave up a sack instead of simple throwing it out of bounds, costing them a fg. He was no better in the third quarter. He was breath taking bad.

He was terrible and visibly nervous. Yes, the defense was terrible. And so was Dak. He's just not a playoff qb. Look at the first halves of all 5 playoff games he's lost. Abysmal.

A side note about the Cowboys. The culture their is so rotten, carnival like, entitled and lacking in leadership and accountability that several players had victory parties before and planned after the game.

Victory parties before and after a WILDCARD game. It's no wonder they got their teeth knocked out.

And back to Dak, players are now anonomously saying that he panics in playoff games when his first read is taken away.

That kinda thing always looks bad when you lose. The ‘85 Bears came out with the Super Bowl Shuffle a couple months before the Super Bowl. Looks badass when you win the whole thing, dumbass when you do what the Cowboys did.

I think the Bears recorded the Super Bowl Shuffle the week after their Miami loss lol.

The Cowboys are a group of talented individuals. SF is a talented team.

They have great coaching and there is a system in place in which everybody does their job. The Cowboys were heavily reliant on pretty much Dak being an MVP caliber player and Micah Parsons obliterating the LOS. Dak did his usual January implosion and the defense got exposed up the middle.

The Niners have dudes all over the front 7. It's not just Parsons and Armstrong. You have Fred Warner, Javon Hargrave, Nick Bosa, Dre Greenlaw. Their front is insane.

There's a reason why when the Niners and Cowboys faced off this year, the Niners ran them into the dirt. All that talent on offense, they managed 10 points and not even 200 total yards. The Cowboys have lived by Dak, died by Dak, and every crucial moment, Dak has caved to the pressure every single time.

The MORNING after. It was filmed at Park West, a club in Chicago.

Payton and McMahon didn't want to do it until after they'd already won. The team insisted and they filmed their parts a week later.
